Review of literature on heart transplant recipients' return to work: predictors and outcomes

A L Botsford. Soc Work Health Care. 1995.

Abstract

The article reviews research on the rate of return to work of heart transplant recipients, examines findings associated with return to work and explores the implications of those findings for social work research, practice and policy in heart transplantation programs. Findings of studies reviewed in the article support the conclusion that there are significant sources of variation in recipients' return to work other than surgical outcome. Predictors of return to work include pre-transplant factors as well as social structural factors.
